Can we just catch a cab from MBJ to Negril?

That is great advice Lisa. Always take the drama out of travel when possible.

We also ride with Kingsley James (found him on this site actually) and concur with all the good sentiments about him: genuinely nice guy, quick to respond to emails, safe and easy ride, reliable and responsible, price competitive for airport transfers and day trips, etc. Last year on the way home from Mayfield Falls, Kingsley drove us through Sav la Mar so we could see the town come alive when everyone was leaving work and school for the day. He's often based out of the Xtabi hotel although drives to all hotels on beach/cliffs, and Kingsley is reputable throughout Negril. His site: http://kingsleystakecaretours.com

As I am reading some of your posts I was suddenly reminded of our first trip to Negril with friends that had already been. I remember we just followed our friends lead... We walked out(1999) looked for a bus,had a seat and while we were waiting my husband and our friends husband left the bus and brought back cold Red Stripe! A first for me! Next thing we know while we are waiting to leave someone leans in the bus with a branch of "sub fixins" and asks if anyone wants any. Well my husband and I look at each other and think well subs must be legal here of coarse upon asking we learn subs aren't... And we don't have subs anyway... Not there's anything wrong with that!! Oh where was I? Oh any way the bus ride has never been forgotten. It was the beginning of a life changing experience that has only been missed one year since. Sorry if this went way off subject.

Get a private driver for sure. Rates are fair. You can stop along the way for refreshments, photo ops, food, restroom breaks, stock up on food/drinks for your room, etc... AND you may make a friend for life. We have been using the same driver for over 25 years ! !

We love all the bars in Negril but Canoe and Drifters are a couple of our favorite places to hang out.Can't forget Red Ground to visit Collettes and of coarse the Red Dragon for some awesome cold beers and the best jerk pork!

after i dropped off my rental at the airport, i was waiting for my ride to negril and observed all sorts of route taxis picking up passengers.
if you don't mind the hassle, why not?
